Chapter 358

After Ding Sihan squeezed all the paints she needed for today, she also stepped on Lin Li's desk to get onto the storage cabinet, and even specifically stepped on it a few more times, being very petty.

"Little Ding Ding, have you been losing weight recently? I feel like you've gotten thinner." Lin Li wiped the dust off the desk with a rag and looked up at Ding Sihan.

"Don't know, didn't measure. Have I gotten thinner?" Ding Sihan hugged her arms and looked at Lin Li with a sneer.

Now you know how to say nice things and beg for mercy?

What were you doing earlier?

However, Ding Sihan also knew that Lin Li had substance when praising people; she had heard it from Ying Bao's mouth several times. If Lin Li praised her well, it wouldn't be impossible to forgive him.

"Yes, I can clearly feel that you've gotten thinner." Lin Li nodded: "Your heart and mind have become narrow, you've lost so much weight."

Ding Sihan: "..."

The sneer stiffened on her face.

So... he wasn't even begging for mercy from her?

"Lin, Li."

"Ding Zi, don't mess around while standing so high," Lin Li smiled and begged for mercy, while signaling Ding Sihan to behave: "In the light novels I read, there are often plots where a girl is at a high place and accidentally falls into the arms of a boy below. I already have Ying Bao, you must be careful."

Afterward, Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying: "Class monitor, you can be careless, I am ready."

Chen Yuying: "..."

Ding Sihan didn't bother getting down, but after glaring fiercely at Lin Li, she decided to blow evil pillow talk starting next week, then focused her attention on the blackboard report.

"So Lin Li, how do you plan to pass the time this week?"

Halfway through painting, Ding Sihan, who was coloring, asked somewhat restlessly.

"Me? I have the subject two exam tomorrow afternoon. As for other times, I will probably go swimming and do some public service by shoveling ash downstairs at home." Lin Li looked up and answered.

This week, neither "Three People and a Dog" nor "Beauty and the Beast" had any arrangements.

Chen Yuying was going to her grandparents' house during the day on Saturday. As for Sunday afternoon, she was going to invite a competition teacher to her home to tutor her this week; she had already had her family contact one, a grandmother-level teacher with a professor title.

—The reason for doing this was that after three competition classes this week, although Chen Yuying wasn't unable to keep up, she wasn't exactly doing it with ease either.

After all, when it came down to it, she had almost no competition foundation at all.

Although Chen Yuying really wasn't interested in this competition or the awards, she didn't want a situation where Lin Li passed the school selection but she didn't.

Even if she passed the school selection, there was a more difficult preliminary round. From Lin Li's composure now, Chen Yuying felt he could go to the finals.

Then she had to go too.

She wanted to stay with Lin Li during the evening self-study and the subsequent Sunday afternoon, so Chen Yuying decided to work a little harder.

As for if a situation arose where she passed but Lin Li didn't, that didn't matter; she would just withdraw from the competition.

Anyway, she only participated in this competition for him.

Therefore, plus the fact that Bai Bufan and Qu Wanqiu both planned to go home this week, leaving only Lin Li and Ding Sihan, they wouldn't go out to play.

As for letting Lin Li and Ding Sihan go out to play alone?

Lin Li could agree, Ding Sihan could agree, and Ying Bao could! also! agree! (へ╬)!

—Just kidding, Chen Yuying might really not mind, but regardless of whether it was true or not, Lin Li and Ding Sihan would never do such a thing.

Although there were no activities, there were still quite a few things Lin Li could do now.

First and foremost, Yu Jianan lived up to expectations; after helping him pass the cooling-off period, he got the opportunity for the subject two exam for the first time, in the last batch in the afternoon, near dinner time.

As expected of a god-like person who could get a phone on Pinduoduo, his connections were truly powerful.

He might really be able to get his driver's license before New Year's Day, with efficiency high enough to defy the heavens.

The remaining time was for the remaining two of the five elements tasks, "Water" and "Earth": swimming and community construction.

Because the evening self-study ended late, these two really couldn't be brushed on school days and could only wait for the weekend.

In addition, the blind date and villain tasks also had ways to be advanced if he wanted to.

There was also the translation of the Foundation Establishment method, familiarizing himself with the sword techniques...

Therefore, as long as he wanted to, Lin Li could be busy to the brim on the weekend.

"Swimming?" Hearing Lin Li's answer, Ding Sihan and Chen Yuying both looked over curiously, "Why are you going swimming in the autumn?"

"To exercise," Lin Li shrugged; swimming was still easy to explain: "Swimming has a very comprehensive exercise effect."

"Is it really just swimming?" Ding Sihan expressed doubt and poked Chen Yuying: "Ying, I suspect Lin Li wants to go see the swimsuits of other girls and women. You also know what kind of things are in this person's brain."

Ding Sihan pointed to the yellow paint on the blackboard.

Chen Yuying smiled and looked down at Lin Li upon hearing this.

Lin Li raised his middle finger at Ding Sihan and scolded with a smile:

"Forget it, most of the people who come to swim at the Nansang Swimming Pool are grandpas, grandmas, and families with children; there aren't many of your so-called 'girls and women' at all."

"Look, I said he watched it! How would he know there aren't any if he didn't watch!" Ding Sihan said firmly to Chen Yuying.

The gaze of someone who likes someone cannot be hidden; Lin Li looked at Chen Yuying, and she knew.

The gaze of someone who wants to kill someone cannot be hidden; Lin Li looked at Ding Sihan, and she knew.

"Then why don't you two just come with me? Anyway, you have nothing to do on Saturday night, and you can see if what I said is true." Lin Li smiled.

"I don't know how to swim, I'm not going." Ding Sihan shook her head immediately.

Actually, learning to swim is a very simple thing; don't be afraid of water, breathe with peace of mind when you sink, and you will naturally float up in a few days.

Ding Sihan is truly a cowardly lizard, a small fry.

"I'll pass too," Chen Yuying also shook her head, "I don't like going to places where there are people I don't know to swim."

"Eh, there must be strangers in public places, right?" Lin Li raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and immediately grasped the blind spot: "Class monitor, listening to this, does your family have a private swimming pool?"

"Hello, there really is one, I've even seen it." The one who answered was Ding Sihan, and after finishing, she bent over slightly, patted Chen Yuying's thigh, and smiled: "Tsk tsk, you should be happy that you can hug the rich girl's thigh, Lin Li."

"Isn't the class monitor's home in the Changxing Building?" Lin Li asked curiously upon hearing this, "The building should only have a community swimming pool, right? Or is this at another house?"

The class had a personal information form, which had Chen Yuying's address, and it also matched the location Chen Yuying sent in the group when they were discussing how to go to the market last week.

But it was also reasonable for Chen Yuying's family to have more than one property.

"Hmm," Chen Yuying nodded, "It's a house in the suburbs. Usually, we live in the building, which is more convenient. Generally, we only go to live in that villa during holidays or winter and summer vacations. Usually, there is no one there.

I also learned to swim there; it's a small underground swimming pool, it should be four meters by eight meters, I'm not sure, but it's definitely not big."

So there really is an idle house.

The happiest episode for an expert.

"Actually, I also want to swim in a private swimming pool. Class monitor, can you steal the key for me so I can sneak in to swim?" Lin Li then smiled.

"Actually, if I tell my family it's for a classmate to use, I don't need to steal it," Chen Yuying shook her head, "Do you really need it? If you need it, I can tell my family when I go back today."

"Just kidding, forget it." Lin Li waved his hand with a smile upon hearing this.

Go to the Chen family alone?

Will he win?

Dead for sure.

If his dear Uncle Chen knew that the 'classmate' in Chen Yuying's mouth was him.

Tsk.

Fast-forward to the horror-themed escape room segment.

Lin Li seriously suspected that Chen Zhongping would sneak into the villa and then, while he was swimming, because he was worried that his oxygen wasn't enough, would pass high-voltage electricity into the water to electrolyze the water to provide him with oxygen.

Perhaps afterward, Yang Liang would come to question him:

"Mr. Chen, why did Lin Li float in your swimming pool for three days and you didn't ask?"

Chen Zhongping: "Ah? I don't know? He died? Oh my, I just said why did Lin Li get fat, I thought this kid was secretly eating little snacks head-down for three days.

Sigh, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, wuwuwu hehe."

Lin Li got goosebumps.

Forget it, forget it, he didn't have a swimsuit either, and he couldn't beat Uncle Chen at his house.

Moreover, if no one lived there usually, Ying Bao's little villa wasn't the Titanic; it was impossible for the swimming pool to always have water.

Every time he snuck over, he would have to fill it with water; how troublesome.

"Class monitor, let me test you with a competition question." Lin Li opened his mouth.

"Hmm? You say?" Chen Yuying was somewhat puzzled; such a sudden turn.

"There is a swimming pool, a water discharge pipe, and a Zhou Bao. Opening the water discharge pipe takes three hours to fill a pool of water, and opening Zhou Bao takes six hours to drink a pool of water. May I ask how many hours it takes to fill a pool of water if you open the water discharge pipe and Zhou Bao at the same time?"

Chen Yuying: "..."

So it was a primary school competition question.

"That's not simple, 4.5 hours." Ding Sihan answered first.

When Lin Li and Chen Yuying looked at her with surprise and concern, Ding Sihan was stunned for a moment: "Wait a minute, wait a minute! 6 hours! 6 hours!"

Ding Sihan has the bearing of a Jiang Saint.

But actually, it's normal; sometimes people really calculate very simple primary school problems wrong.

Ding Sihan tried to change the subject to ease the embarrassment: "However, Lin Li, you go to the swimming pool, will there be anyone discharging water in the swimming pool?"

"Definitely," Lin Li nodded, "People coming in and out will definitely take away or drink away some water. To maintain the water level, the swimming pool must frequently replenish water on a small scale."

"Hmm..." Ding Sihan blinked, "I'm not talking about this kind of water discharge..."

"Then what is it?"

"In a public swimming pool, will there be people discharging water inside... that is, peeing."

Lin Li: "..."

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then pointed at her like a husky and greeted Ding Sihan's family with his mouth shape.

This is not conducive to unity!

Although the answer is actually the same: definitely.

How many people didn't want to pee at first, but when they were washed by the water while taking a shower, that feeling just came up? "Ding Sihan, we are just classmates, you have crossed the line." But this didn't prevent Lin Li from saying it with difficulty.

"Hahaha—" Seeing Lin Li's reaction, Ding Sihan held her stomach and laughed, feeling satisfied.

"Actually, there are swimming pool water quality inspectors in the swimming pool; they will irregularly scoop up the swimming pool water around us to drink to judge whether anyone has discharged water." Lin Li thought for a moment and spoke again.

"What kind of 'iPartment' is this," Ding Sihan giggled, then raised her eyebrows and teased: "Lin Li, drink less on the weekend, otherwise stay away from Ying Bao next week."

Lin Li just responded with his middle finger with a smile.

He didn't feel disgusted at all; after all, talking about toxicity without talking about dosage is Lin Li.

"Ding Zi, according to your logic, the Atlantic Ocean, which has experienced the triangular trade, the Boston Tea Party, and Black Friday milk dumping, is a cup of pure pearl milk tea. Do you want to drink more?" So Lin Li asked back.

Ding Sihan: "..."

When Chen Yuying's laughter came again, both looked at her.

Chen Yuying suppressed her laughter, then felt somewhat aggrieved: "Why do you always accidentally hurt me..."

The bell for the lunch break rang, and the three immediately fell silent, obeying the rules and no longer talking.

Actually, there were only Lin Li, the three of them, and Wang Yuezhi in the classroom—other students who came at noon were now painting outside the classroom, but in such times, it wasn't that the majority had the right to speak, but that it was right.

Respecting Wang Yuezhi is everyone's responsibility.

Afternoon.

"By the way," the bell rang, Xue Jian packed up his teaching plan, closed the PPT, and after assigning homework, reminded the restless students of Class 4 who were present: "Let me tell you in advance."

"Next week, there will be a letter to parents segment at the parent-teacher meeting. Everyone can write the words you are embarrassed to say to your parents in person in the letter, and it will be distributed at the parent-teacher meeting."

The classroom was quiet for a moment.

"Ah? No? Why are we still doing such awkward activities in high school? Isn't this an activity that should be in primary school?"

"And the parent-teacher meeting is on Friday; won't we have to go home immediately after writing it? That's still very awkward..."

Xue Jian's words caused the classroom to be in an uproar; of course, most people were singing a dirge.

"Exactly, teacher, why don't we forget it? My relationship with my parents is quite good, we are as close as a family, we don't need this kind of segment."

Such words that didn't sound like human words naturally came from the back row. Lin Li looked at Bai Bufan upon hearing this:

"Is the relationship actually that good? Bufan, how did you and your parents meet?"

Bai Bufan: "My dad called me dad for a long time, almost a whole year, and then I started calling him that. My mom is the same; she also called me mom for a year. Seriously, I am a boy~"

Lin Li smiled and pointed at Bai Bufan.

But it was indeed like this; most people couldn't avoid this process when recognizing their parents, unless they were abducted.

Xue Jian heard everyone's feedback but just shrugged:

"It was organized by the school, I'm just conveying it. In short, you know there is such a thing, just write whatever you want when the time comes."

He also felt that this kind of segment was meaningless, but sometimes, people are helpless in society.

Many things aren't things you can not do just because you don't want to—like being the damn head teacher of Class 4.

"Is the one who organized this because they don't have parents so they haven't had a parent-teacher meeting? What are they thinking? I'm convinced."

However, today was Friday, students could forgive everything. When Xue Jian left, after everyone searched for enemies in the void, they were too lazy to complain anymore and were immersed in the joy of the weekend arriving.

"School's out~"

"Going home, going home!" Not bringing any homework, taking a schoolbag to deceive the family members who came to pick him up, Bai Bufan stood up, "It really suffocated me."

Noticing Lin Li's gaze at a small fry, Bai Bufan widened his eyes:

"Damn it, Tianming also stayed at school last weekend, which led to me never finding a single-person environment. I haven't taken off for two weeks. Lin Li, you who are a day student and can take off every day will not understand what kind of despair this is for a hot-blooded captain."

Lin Li was too lazy to comment and stood up, preparing to go home too.

"This week, I'm going to try new tricks, I want a 3P." But Bai Bufan was still self-high, started rubbing his hands, and a lewd smile appeared on his face.

Lin Li, who was walking out, couldn't help it, turned his head and scolded with a smile: "Idiot, how many times have I told you, using two hands to beat glue doesn't count as 3P."

"It counts, it counts."

Riding his bike home from the swimming pool, Lin Li randomly chose a restaurant that was still open for a midnight snack.

He swam until the pool closed at night, almost without rest the whole time; his physical strength was no longer human.

But fortunately, the progress didn't slow down because his fatigue decreased as he became stronger, and the increase was quite good.

"That day's loneliness, loneliness starts~"

While eating, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang with the ringtone set for WeChat calls.

Today was Friday, the day Lin Li had the most confidence as a fan of the Teens in Times, so he pretended to flip through and not find his phone, but actually did it on purpose to listen for a while longer.

Finally, he took out his phone, and after seeing the WeChat avatar, Lin Li raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.

—It was Yan Aosong.

Uncle Yan would actually take the initiative to call him? And at this time—it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

He took a look; he didn't even send him a message, just called directly.

However, Lin Li had a guess; it was probably the Demon Suppression Division planning to commend him again or something.

After all, in the thief case a few days ago, he was a real hero; it wouldn't be excessive to send him another banner, but this time he would let them write the banner recipient as the principal.

Sooner or later, under the operation of his worldly wisdom, Nansang Middle School would become the umbrella for his black evil force.

"Hello, Uncle Yan." Lin Li answered the phone.

"Lin Li! Lin Li!" As soon as the phone was connected, Yan Aosong's urgent and panicked shouting came from the other side.

"You quickly tell your aunt!"

"The black silk in front of my car! It's yours! It's what you left behind! Lin Li! It's urgent! Very urgent!"

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then remembered what kind of black silk this was.

—Tuesday night, after Yang Liang got in the car and searched him like a suspect, he took away the black silk he brought.

Then Yang Liang threw it to the front, and Yan Aosong confiscated it approvingly. Lin Li remembered later that he took it and put it in the storage compartment in the middle of the front car.

"..."

Lin Li's face gradually turned into a Great King of Suppressing Laughter.

Remember.

That day, in order not to let the thieves notice in advance, the car Yan Aosong drove out was his own private car, not a police car.

Assuming Yan Aosong forgot about this bag of black silk after that day, assuming today was a weekend night so he took his family out to play somewhere, assuming his wife sitting in the passenger seat found this bag of black silk that didn't belong to her while looking for something...

Assuming Uncle Yan and his aunt were in the car at this time...

Holy crap, he really wanted to appear in the car right now.

Just thinking about the scene, Lin Li couldn't help but shovel a few mouthfuls of rice.

This blood-flowing scene was too appetizing!

"Lin Li—!!"

"Are you there! Answer me quickly!!" After the phone was connected, Lin Li didn't make a sound, and Yan Aosong's voice was already anxious.

"Uncle, I'm here, I'm here. How should I explain? You say it, I'll cooperate." Lin Li came back to his senses and answered with a hint of a smile.

"You just tell your aunt that it's yours!"

Afterward, the noise of the microphone being slapped and moved came from the other end of the phone; it should have been caused by the phone moving.

"Hello?" When the noise ended, a female voice that sounded somewhat cold appeared, with an unkind tone.

Lin Li: "Aunt, hello, I am Lin Li. The black silk you saw is indeed mine. If I am lying to you, I will die a horrible death on the spot."

—No tricks, Lin Li admitted and clarified very simply and directly; he wouldn't torture Yan Aosong at such a time.

If he affected Yan Aosong's family relationship because of his tricks, that would be too much.

Lin Li still understood human nature.

The other end of the phone: "..."

First silence, then—

"Yan! Ao! Song! Your cheating partner is actually a man!"

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

China is worthy of being a land of etiquette; the sound of Bang! Bang! Bang! came from the other end of the phone.

"Aunt! No! I am a student! Uncle Yan and I have no abnormal relationship at all!"

"Still a student?!"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Only the busy tone after hanging up remained on the other end of the phone.

Lin Li: "..."

"Ah?"

Damn it, he finally didn't pull a trick once, why was the result the same as if he had pulled a trick??

Then he might as well have pulled a trick.

Now Lin Li was somewhat "Song of the Thatched Hut Broken by the Autumn Wind."
